RockmusicRaider Newsflash - Skallbank - Skallbank: The Singles - Album Cover

Already the cheeky start of their video Falsarium with the Kumbaya chanting weirdos wins this band a mention on the RMR logbook of cool music videos. Just when my internal what-the-fuck emergency switch wanted to kick into action, this screaming rock piece started in earnest.

I had to laugh so hard when the sorry acoustic guitar was ripped out of this guy’s hand and the sound kicked out of the ground like a fucking rocket into space. Good one! But more to that later.

The culprits are the Swedish rock band Skallbank, and they like it rough and heavy. … [...] Click to raid more!

Ha! Somebody just stepped out of their garage and started rocking away! In a ’70s to ’80s style of Punk Rock, Pop Rock, and plain rock ‘n’ roll that will just take you on a ride. And no, they don’t even reach us out of the US of A. 

We talk about the Swedish band Nightmen and their second blurb Fifteen Minutes of Pain, released in April 2016.

RockmusicRaider Review - Nemesea - Uprise - Album Cover

I did not quite know what to expect. Nemesea‘s last production The Quiet Resistance did – well – not exactly exert the metal-infused pull one would have expected. At least not on all fronts – some tracks were right there, some sort of very dark Pop Metal infected with Gothic elements. 

Then judging by their about-face they made with In Control away from their Gothic Metal laden style displayed in Mana, it does not bode well for future records (and boy did I love Mana…). Now The Quiet Resistance held loads of dark promise. But what about their newest and 4th full length album Uprise? And after … [...] Click to raid more!
